AMERICAN AND GERMAN INTER
DEPENDENCE.
The recent and present talk of alli
ar.?«s or.d the late friendly expressions
of the Emperor of Germany with refer
ence to Eng-iand and America, have
Quickened thought concerning the true
relations between this country and the
German Empire. When a European
State makes advances toward us for
closer relationship it may be taken as
certain that there is behind it some un
disclosed purpose, as the "Record-
Union" pointed out on Tuesday in
treating of the alliance talk and spec
ulation of the day. What that pur
pose Is is the thing to be ascertained
before any safe response can be made
to such -wooing.
We have already indicated what, in
the opinion of this Journal, is one of
the actuating motives of English
statesmen in the recent exceedingly
flattering approaches they have made,
namely that the free trade countries
having at last become convinced that
the protection States are not to be
cowed it is the part of wis
dom to arrange with Chem such adjust
ments as will conserve the interest of
the free trade countries, and somewhat
mitigafe the fierceness of sharp compe
tition for the world's'commerce.
In the case.of Great Britain the way
appears to her to lie open in the direc
tion of the trade of the Orient and
hence her solicitous desire that from
cur seat of vantage in the Philippines
we should join with her in the promo
tion of th».> open door policy In China,
under the plea that these two great na
tions should do what they can to pre
serve the integrity of China as a na
tion, an,<l prevent its dismemberment
and partition among European Powers.
Our relations with Germany are
wholly; commercial. There is no racial
or natural sympathetic bond between
them. If Germany unites with Eng
land-therefore, to induce us to consent
to an open door alliance policy in the
Orient, it will be because Germany has
much to gain by that means not ob
tainable by any other, should we op
pose her.
Mr. James H. Gore in the December
"Forum" treats interestingly of what
he terms the interdependent relations
of the United States and Germany, and
indicates wherein there is mutuality of
interest. He holds that there has been
for twelve years no such opportune
time as the present for putting this
country on the safe side in our eommer
ciaJ relations with the German Em
pires The terms of Germany's tarifT
schedule has nearly expired, and a com
mission is now at work upon a new
one. Now all bills that are thus
evolved have a fixed period within
which they are not changeable. There
fore America is interested deeply in the
conditions which the new tariff plan
may place about our exports to Ger
many.
Here then is one key at least that
serves to partly open the purpose
Germany has in fostering our good will
for her, and in promoting the propos-d
alliance England suggests regarding the
Orient. Germany is an industrial na
tion. Her maritime interests are sec
ondary, but she has an ambition to
make them foremost. She never can
have the maritime power to which this
country will certainly attain. Very
naturally, therefore, she is solicitous to
make such early arrangements with
the United States as are possible in
the premises. But in all such cases
the principle of reciprocity enters ln,
of which we are perhaps the chief ex
ponent.
Mr. Gore well says that while we
are a great people we are not inde
pendent of the rest of the world. He
might have made his declaration
stronger by adding that we never can
he, nor would it be well that we should
be. There will always exist conditions
which demand concessions and more or
less of reciprocal favor. But when it
comes to what we should concede, how
far reciprocity should be extended, to
what alliances commercial and other
wise we should commit ourselves, we
are confronted with very grave ques
tiona Generally it may be said that
each case as it presents must be treat
ed independently; that no hard and
fast rule of action can prevail, and that
therefore it would be exceedingly un
wise to make a general and sweeping
commercial alliance compact with two
or more nations concerning the shar
ing of trade advantages in a third,
which, as in the ease of China, is in
almost a helpless condition.
However, to give Mr. Gore the benefit
of his claim it is proper to say that
he carries his argument in favor of now
making arrangements with Germany
for reciprocity that may go so far as
to "look toward free trade, with its
ethical injunction to live and help live."
The United States, it may be assumed,
will not cease to become a protectionist
nation, certainly not in the present or
the early future. Mr. Gore's reasons
why we should be kindly inclined, in
deed solicitous to effect reciprocal re
lations with Germany on a very broad
plan, whether they run to the extent of
involving suggestion of an alliance or
not, may be for general information
stated.
He points out that:
We have a country with unparalleled
natural facilities for manufactures and
agricultural pursuits, with an Ingeni
ous people utilizing machinery in every
possible direction, with a territory so
vast as to include soil and climate
adapted to all the forms of food de
manded by man and beast, and with
mines to yield many sorts of ores as
well as the coal for their reduction. But
with these blessings—blessings in abud
ance—there may be a limit to our in
dustrial advance.
Under normal conditions two causes
can arrest our progress: viz., scarcity of
labor and a loss of our agricultural ex
ports. With the immigration we have
haAin such abundant measure, to-
with our increase in native popu
lation, it would seem impossible that
labor should ever be scarce. In quan
tity, perhaps this may be true; but for
the manufactories some skill is re
quired, and intelligence above the or
dinary is needed. Then, for each addi
tional five or six families whole heads
are engaged in the shops or factories,
one farmer must start his plough for
their support, or else our exports must
be diminished by a corresponding
amount. This farmer must take up
new lands, less productive than those
now farmed, or else a subdivision of
lands now under cultivation must take
place. Both these steps have been
taken. The size of farms has decreased
from 199 acres in 1860 to 137 in 1890,
and the number of farms has increased
a great many fold in this period.
While the total acreage under culti
vation has increased rapidly, it has not
been greatly in excess of our increase
in population; so that we cannot expect
to continue to add to our exports of
foods unless we start upon a scheme
of more intense cultivation. It is, there
fore, inevitable that sooner or later we
shall cease to control the food supplies
of the world; and then, as other coun
tries become independent of us, we shall
become dependent upon them, or at
least shall no longer be in a position to
dictate terms of exchange. It is now,
while we are strong in agricultural and
industrial exports, that we can make
the best terms with the other members
in the family of nations; and It is now
that we can accept the principle of eco
nomical division of labor, with its
corollary that looks toward free trade,
and with its ethical injunction to live
and help live.
They who have never" "thought a
song," who have never felt a throb of
human sympathy, who have never
pitied, or sorrowed with the sorrows of
others have not truly lived. When we
read, as we do now and then, the ex
pression of contempt for love ofjnusic
or expression of poetic thought, the
doubt of sincerity of human sympathy,
and of disbelief in the purity of un
selfish endeavor, we are constrained to
pity as well as condemn. It is not true
that there Is nothing but seiflsh pur
pose in the world; it is not true that all
men in public station are unclean; it
is not true that there is no such thing
as self-respect; it Is not true that there
is no devotion of life and labor un
selfishly and for the good of others
Tet if we are to believe some of the
yellow press of the day and some
pessimistic writers all there Is of life
is tragedy and discord, hollowness,
selfishness and deceit, uncleanllness and
disloyalty to honor.
THE LATEST LYNCHING.
The horrible lynching of a negro mur
derer in Kentucky surpassing in the de
tails of its savagery anything yet re
corded of the deeds of lynchers. Self
respecting and law abiding people can
not but condemn lynching, no matter
what the provocation. It is manifes
tation of the remnant of savagery in
our natures. It testifies not so much
to our chivalry in the cause of the weak
and defenseless, or of our desire to have
crime meet punishment, as it does of
passionate anger and uncontrollable im
pulse to retaliate brutally.
Of course in the Kentucky case the
crime was a horrid one; so indescrib
able in its enormity that it shocks the
soul to even think of it. But this fact
cannot operate defensively for lynch
ing and lynchers. The mob that tor
tured the negro to death, mutilated his
body, Inflicted upon him some of the in
dignities and tortures with which he
did his helpless victim to death, and
visited shame upon her name, stood
for savagery', for revenge rather than
the justice and vengeance of the law.
It knew well enough that the offender
would be punished, that he would soon
suffer death for his crime, but suffer
under the mandate and decree of a
court of the land, and be executed by
legal warrant. It had no fear of fail
ure of the law therefore; it was in
spired by no belief or suspicion that
the prisoner would escape. Hence the
mob's action was purely savage and
brutal, and therefore it disgraced our
civilization, shamed manhood and made
our land a scoffing in the mouths of
strangers.
But when this is said it remains that
the fiend who was destroyed by the
rns Bgcx>RP-tmioy, Sacramento; stjkpay, December io, 1899.
mob merited no sympathy, met a de
served fate and that his horrible taking
oft must operate as a deterrent influence.
There is no manhood in those who do
'not feel the throb of anger and merci*
lessness when they contemplate the
crime of the man, or who do not feel
I that death for the wretch was too mild
j punishment, while at the same time
; they condemn the method of the mob,
1 the defiance of the law and the indig
nity lynching visits upon American
character.
The Richmond (Va.) "Times" declares
South Carolina has for several years
been on a State jag. It alleges that
the official Government is saturated
with whisky, and it is due to the dis
pensary law, which the "Times" asserts
is a disgrace tb the civilization of South
Carolina. The dispensary law was en
acted as a temperance measure, and
was designed to correct the abuses of
the liquor traffic, but according to the
"Times" Senator Tillman long ago tore
off that disguise by the declaration that
the real purpose was to furnish the
people with plenty of liquor, and to
make money for the State. In other
words, the State has gone into tire
Jiquor business on its own account, and
traffics in the material welfare of Its
people to their Injury. Any such sys
tem as that must in time come to be
honeycombed with rascality, fraud and
immorality. It is always inadvisable for
the State to engage in any business for
profit, but it is more than bad when it
monopolizes the business of liquor sell
ing, not to limit and restrict it, or
lessen its evils, but to enlarge the trade
%md the more demoralize the people for
the sake of the profits reaped.
ESTIMATE OF A WRITER.
' The retirement of one of the oldest
editorial writers of America, Mr. E. L-
Godkin of the New Tork "Evening
Post," has brought out a variety of
comment. Mainly it has been exceed
ingly complimentary of the Anglo -
Irishman because of his unquestioned
scholarship and his exceeding incisive
ness of style, as well for his courage
and intellectual vigor.
But the commentaries are not all in
one direction. In fact, none of them
breathe love, and beneath all of them
there Is ill concealed a vein of criticism
"of the methods of the founder of the
"Nation," and his intolerant treatment
of his contemporaries. There is evi
dent but unexpressed feeling that Mr.
Godkin has been rather a good hater
than a generous opponent.
Now and then there is open and de
clared gratification that Mr. Godkin
has ceased to write regularly for the
press, and will devote his remaining
years to literature of a different order,
and for which his high attainments,
his brilliancy and learning eminently fit
him. "Gunton's Magazine" is one of
those who rejoice that Godkin will no
more flay and scalp. "Gunton's" re
gards him as a vindictive, cynical and
poisonous element in Journalism, the
most so ever known in its history. It
holds that Godkin has been not merely
a sneerer at everything American, but
he has been a polished defamer, using
vulgar terms and applying coarse
names to our public men. But it makes
a still more serious charge against Mr.
Godkin, namely, that he has sought to
evade responsibility for this mci.hod of
assault by putting the coarse attacks
in quotation marks, though they were
original with him.
"Gunton's" further charges him with
being cynical, sarcastic and vindictive
without a cause, really a man without
a country, a writer without a prin
ciple to uphold. In short, that with Mr.
Godkin, to be identified with any cause
of labor was to be rated and raked as
a demagogue and a fraud, and to be in
fluential in public affairs was to be de
nounced as a "politician" hungering for
fodder at the public crib.
The Brooklyn "Eagle" says that
much was attributed to him which he
did not write, but no injustice was done
by that fact, for its resemblance to his
known writing showed that he in
spired it, either directly or by influence
of the man or those who worked with
him.
The truth Is between the extremes of
florid praise and bitter denouncement.
Unquestionably those who shower un
stinted compliments upon him are
blinded by the brilliancy of the writer,
while those who scarify him as the
enemy of all that is generous, are car
ried away by enmity stung by the
lash he wielded. The truth about Mr.
Godkin, as an editorial writer and pub
lic critic, is that he was merciless, had
small regard for patriotism in the pop
ular sense, was lacking in breadth, was
well nigh devoid of generosity in let
ters, and that for warmth with tolera
tion, he substituted heat with intoler
ance.
Nevertheless he served a most useful
purpose, in that his cynicism, courage
and mercilessness and his hatred of all
things unclean, hypocritical and low,
operated to make schemers, frauds and
demagogues fear and hesitate. That
neither flesh nor soul were spared the
lay of his lash, that he made ridicule
offensive for lack of humor, and criti
cism weak by assumption of infalli
bility is certainly true.
No writer for the press in the recent
years has- been more feared or ad
mired. He was at once the most
brilliant, incisive and fearless of mod
ern critics, and yet the least effective
because of the scorn with which
he regarded opponents, and those who
Joined issue with him. His scholarly
abilities commanded respect, his direct
and all but irresistible attack excited
admiration from even his foes. He
was, despite his lack of sympathy, his
narrowness of view concerning things
American, his want of charity and his
heartlessness in applying censure, a
great editor, one whose genius, learn
ing, critical skill and fearlessness will
rank his name among the really
great, but not by any means among the
most influential writers and the loved
ones of the century.
For by his facility in making enemies,
undue vigor of assault and his Intoler
ant methods, the ends he sought were
very hu-gely defeated. Compared with
Greely, Holland, Bryant and Ray
mond, Godkin exerted really least en
during influence upon the public
thought of the century and his name
will be forgotten when theirs still glow
in the memory of men.
SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
The system of treating sewage pro
posed by the late Colonel Waring has
been given a trial at Brentwood, N. H.
Professor Porter delivered a lecture
upon it the other evening before the
-Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He likewise considered all other sys
tems of leading character. In the
Brentwood case the Waring system
worked, he said, admirably. That is
the case of a city which has not a
stream of water sufficient with which
to flush its sewers. Under the Waring
system the sewage is run into a spetic
tank and filter under the same roof. The
affluent is rendered colorless, odorless
and harmless, while the sludge proves
to be a better fertilizer than stable
j manure. The city is so well satisfied
1 that it has adopted the system. This
will prove a decided blessing to num
berless small cities, for there are many
so situated that they cannot flush sew
ers except at great cost, and cannot
dispose of sewage except by artificial
process. The genius of Waring seems
to have left a means that exactly fits
the case of towns low lying, with little
natural fall, and without an ample
stream of water with which to flush
sewers and carry oft the sewage.
When we read in the news of the day
that telephone rentals are $240 a year
in New York City, the heart of the
commercial world of America, we must
think that the man whose lot is cast
in California is a fortunate one if he
finds the telephone a necessity, where
the charges are but $30 per annum.
